Three weeks out from the opening meeting at Thurles Racecourse on October 9, plans for the management of the racecourse have been announced by HRI and the Molony family.

In July, the Molonys, owners of Thurles Racecourse, announced their retirement from racing and closure of their track with immediate effect.
